The High Performance Fortran Forum (HPFF) is a coalition of
industrial and academic groups working to suggest a set of standard
extensions to Fortran to provide the necessary information.  Its intent
is to develop extensions to Fortran that provide support for high
performance programming on a wide variety of machines, including
massively parallel SIMD and MIMD systems and vector processors.  From
its beginning, HPFF has included most vendors delivering parallel machines,
a number of government laboratories, and university research
groups.  Public input has been encouraged.
This document defining HPF 2.0 is the third in a series of documents 
resulting from the HPFF project.  
HPF 2.0 is  intended to be a language
specification portable from workstations to massively parallel
supercomputers while being able to express the algorithms needed to
achieve high performance on specific architectures. HPF 2.0 builds on the 
efforts of the previous HPFF meetings, primarily in 1992 and 1994.  Specific acknowlegments for the many people who contributed to the previous versions of
HPF are included in appendix \ref{old-ack}.  

\section{HPFF 2 Acknowledgments}
\label{hpff2-ack}

The HPF 2.0 version of the document was prepared during 
series of meetings in 1995-1996. 
A number of people shared technical  responsibilities for
the activities of these  meetings:

\begin{itemize}

\item Ken Kennedy, Convener and Meeting Chair;

\item Mary Zosel, Executive Director;

\item Rob Schreiber, Organizer for Control Subgroup;

\item Piyush Mehrotra and Guy Steele, Organizers for Distribution Subgroup;

\item David Loveman, Organizer for External Subgroup;

\item  Chuck Koelbel, Editor, assisted by a hoard of screaming
extras. Plus more (screaming)
names will be listed here after we determine who does
the work.

\end{itemize}

Attendence at the HPFF 2 meetings included the following people from
organizations that were represented two or more times.

An important activity of HPFF 2 meetings was the processing of the many items
submitted for comment, correction, and interpretation.   A general thanks goes to all
who submitted comments and interpretation requests.  The following people
submitted items that resulted in changes to the document text: 
Yasuharu Hayashi,
Michael Hennecke, 
Larry Meadows, 
Eiji Nunohiro, 
Carl Offner,
Rob Schreiber,
David Singleton,
Shigeru Uzuhara,
Clint Whaley,
and, last, but most prolific - 
Henry Zongaro.

Other special mention goes to  Chuck Koelbel at
Rice University for continued
maintenance of the HPFF mailing lists.

Theresa Chatman and staff at Rice University were responsible for
meeting planning and organization and Danny Powell
continued to handle financial details of the project.

HPFF  2 received direct support for research and administrative
activities from grants from ARPA, DOE, and NSF.
